To all whom. z'zf may concern.:

Be it known that Vieron GUINZBURG, a citizen of the United States, andresident of the city, county, and State of New York,

have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Powder-PuffHolders, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide an easily made container orholder for a powder puff which will beV pleasing in appearance; whichwill be made of material which' can be kept clean and sanitary and whichwill retain a powder puff in a compact and sanitary condition.

may hereinafter appear, in view, have devised the particular arrangementof parts hereinafter set forth and more particularly pointed out in theclaims appended hereto.v

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereofin which" Figure l is a perspective view ofthe body of the holder beforethe same is contracted to its finished condition; n

Figure 2 is aplan view ofthe completed holder, and

Figure 3 is a sect-ional view on the line 3 3 of Figure 2 looking in thedirection of the arrows.

Throughout the Various views of the vdrawings, similar referencecharacters designate similar parts. 4.

In the preferred embodiment of my invention as disclosed in theaccompanying drawing, l indicates Lthe body portion of the device whichis preferably made of a single strip of expansible, impervious mate`rial such as sheet rubber or the like.

This strip is formed in tubular shape with its edges secured together bymeans of overstitching 2 or t-he like.l At 3 is shown-the bottom memberof the device which consists of a fiat section or disk of' materialwhich has its outeredge secured to one end of the tubular member l bymeans of over` stitching 4. The device when in this condition isin theform of a tubular container.

At 5 is shown a `contracting member Vwhich is located on the inner faceof the body portion l midway between its ends. This mernber consists ofaiat strip of material of extreme elasticity and secured on the innerface of the body portion l by meansof a line of stitching 6. v Thecontractingmember 5- is stitched in place' in kits stretched With theseobjects and other objects which or expanded condition so that when itcon` tracts to its normal condition, it contracts the body portion l,providing a plurality of shirrings or gathers, adjacent thiscon`tracting member.

This contractingmember draws the body portion l together and provides anarrow ceiving chamber 8. f The expansible member 5 may be extended orexpanded to permit the entrance Or Vremoval of the puff and itseiasticitycauses above the contracting member 5 forms an ornamentalskirt portion, the outerfedge ofk lmouth or opening 7 leading to thepuif rewhich may be suitably' ornamented in any way as bytheoverstitchingQ.

j From the foregoing, .it is obvious that my invention is notto berestrictedto the exact embodiment shown. but is broad enough to coverali structures coming within the scope of the annexed claims.

What I claim is :e- Y
